For me ghastly hours are anything between about 3:00 and 10:00 a.m.

I think the resource posted here only sells to the education system in British Columbia. But they do list other soucres that sell elsewhere. It looks like this one sells All Summer in a Day: http://www.magiclantern.ca

Bharvey80, if you are still here you made me curious. Are you related to the Coogans?

All Summer in a Day is the one film adaptation of a Bradbury story that I think is very well done. I haven't seen it since I caught it on HBO 20 years ago, and I've been looking for it too. I see on IMDB that director Ed Kaplan also directed a Bradbury story called Walking on Air. I'm not familiar with that one. Has anyone seen it?

"Walking on Air" was original for public television. It was one of Bradbury's few stories about the disabled, dealing with a group of disabled children who wanted to visit outer space and one who did. He caught a lot of flack from disabled groups or at least individuals who gave him hell about the story, which may be one reason a print version never appeared.

I have a copy of Walking on Air. If anything, those who speak for the handicapped (in this case kids with physical limitations) should have been applauding the video. It is a story of accomplishment, determination against the odds, the inspiration young people get from their heroes, and the opening of the eyes of those in positions of power.

We have watched it with our young boys and it makes for good family viewing and discussion. Nothing wrong with that, now is there?

I wonder if this organization was inspired by the RB concept? - http://www.walkingonair.f9.co.uk/
